• MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION WORK SESSION <br />TOPIC. HOME OCCUPATIONS <br />HELD JUNE 4, 1997 <br />Both Smith and Hawn responded no. <br />Van Zomeren shared a story about her husband's 90 year old grandmother who published a <br />cookbook. When someone went to her home to purchase one, the Mason City Zoning Department <br />raised objections. <br />Smith asked if words such as incidental and occasional would fit home sales such as "Avon" or <br />"Mary Kay" distributors. <br />Stoddard suggested it be defined as one sale per week. <br />Hawn suggested that sales of less than $1,000 be put into that category. <br />Van Zomeren asked for discussion regarding traffic impact. <br />Hawn said in consideration of the neighbors the total number of cars should be regulated. <br />Stoddard said signage should not be permitted for home occupation purposes. <br />•Gaffron explained name plates that include the address is allowed. He referred to an attorney <br />conducting business out of his home and the words, "Attorney at Law" could not be displayed on <br />the name plate. <br />Stoddard agreed that signage should appear on the house only. <br />Van Zomeren noted that progress had been made and a future work session would be scheduled for <br />Monday, June 23, 1997 at 7:45 a.m. The work session was adjourned at 9:37 a.m. <br />• 6 <br />
